Mike - this sounds horribly long. I happened to have 378Mb of images on
a 512Mb 40x Lexar compact flash card and I just did an experiment
transferring it to my 500Mhz G4 Powerbook via the pcmcia slot - 4 mins
5 secs. This is in fact how I normally work on location.
Something not right somewhere for you.

Bit of an amateur question here as it's not my area of expertise, but
I've recently started shooting for fun a lot on a dSLR, downloading to
a Powerbook G4 (not tethered).
I do this via the PCMIA slot with a Microdrive (or 512mB cards) but
it takes about 6-8 minutes to transfer 1mB. I'd assumed that being
drive to drive this would take a minute or so at most.
